Love it, everithink looks good, gl

Nice one, but what's the story, why is it an end and not a beginning. Maybe the landscape that we can see through the bottle should be distorted somehow, maybe a spherize.

Err we normally don't like sad endings... it makes us sad as well so giving a sad end to a story fits on this contest.

Nice blend...and cool final result!

I don't get it, but the bottom of the bottle needs an edge...

The bottom of the bottle is a little underground... it's covered with sand.

Great but to look more sucessed word you need to fix the blur in the end of bottle.

I like the image, and i like your choice of sources, but i don;t see how it fits with the theme, but then again i don;t really understand it :p Good luck, and high marks from me.

I added a more solid edge to the bottle's bottom... Anyway i already explained my idea -.- in this contest we have to take the joy of something we like to create a feeling of disappintment in relation to something, so my work represents a sad ending of a story.. what story? well it doesn't matter, what matters here is that the horse is trapped in a bottle in a desert, there's no escape from death.

Actually I prefer a story with an effed up ending (i.e. "Seven, Knowing, etc.) but mainly because those ending are NOT expected. Personally I think if you have to explain it, then it makes it hard to fit the theme. A good entry is an obvious entry.

Beautiful image Poor horsie, don't want to be on its place...

beautiful image.. surreal in a way. SO sad to have something so beautiful captured.

WOOOW!!
